Description
COMBINATION BOAT AND TRAVEL TRAILER SYSTEM
BACKGROUND
[0001] Enjoying outdoor activities can be achieved in many ways. For example, camping can be done with tents around a campsite or with campers that either are vehicles, such as RVs, or are trailer campers that are trailed to the campsite via a vehicle having the trailer hitched to the vehicle. Oftentimes, persons desire to travel with boats for use on area nearby lakes, rivers, and other accessible bodies of water. However, unless the boat is inflatable, collapsible, or otherwise capable of being contained in or mounted onto a vehicle used to travel to a campsite, the boat must be mounted on a trailer that is hitched to a vehicle for transportation to the campsite and eventually, transported to the lake for launching the boat. For persons who travel with such boats to a campsite, not only must they have a boat, but must also use a trailer to transport the boat.
For persons utilizing a trailer camper, traveling with multiple trailers can be particularly cumbersome and/or problematic. Therefore, it is desirable to provide a boat and travel trailer system that combines the boat function with a camper and vehicle function.

In the embodiment illustrated in FIGURES 1-3, movable bow 12 is connected to and positionable relative to a main body or cabin section 16 having living quarters 18 and one or more decks 20 and 22. It should be understood that boat and travel trailer system 10 may be otherwise configured, such as, for example, without having living quarters, having a larger living quarter area or any other desired configuration.
In the embodiment illustrated in FIGURES 1-3, movable bow 12 is connected to and positionable relative to a main body or cabin section 16 having living quarters 18 and one or more decks 20 and 22. It should be understood that boat and travel trailer system 10 may be otherwise configured, such as, for example, without having living quarters, having a larger living quarter area or any other desired configuration.
[0015] Referring specifically to FIGURE 1, bow 12 is configured in the upper or towing position so as to be connectable to vehicle 14 for towing when on land. In FIGURE 2, boat and travel trailer system 10 is detached from vehicle 14 with bow 12 in the lowered or boating position to enable movement of boat and travel system 10 on water or on land without the need for towing vehicle 14.
For example, system 10 includes forward wheels 24 and rear wheels 26 to enable boat and travel trailer system 10 to be driven as a terrestrial vehicle.
Preferably, vehicle 14 can pull or otherwise tow boat and travel trailer system10 to desired locations and then be detached therefrom. Once detached, bow 12 is positioned to the lowered position (FIGURE 2) to enable boat and travel trailer system 10 to be driven into a body of water for use as a boat. During in-water use, wheels 24 and/or 26 can be retracted and a flotation system 28 (FIGURE
3), as discussed in further detail below, is activated to stabilize boat and travel trailer system 10.
For example, system 10 includes forward wheels 24 and rear wheels 26 to enable boat and travel trailer system 10 to be driven as a terrestrial vehicle.
Preferably, vehicle 14 can pull or otherwise tow boat and travel trailer system10 to desired locations and then be detached therefrom. Once detached, bow 12 is positioned to the lowered position (FIGURE 2) to enable boat and travel trailer system 10 to be driven into a body of water for use as a boat. During in-water use, wheels 24 and/or 26 can be retracted and a flotation system 28 (FIGURE
3), as discussed in further detail below, is activated to stabilize boat and travel trailer system 10.
[0016] FIGURES 4A and 4B illustrate bow positioning system 50 for positioning bow 12 between the upper and lower positions. In the embodiment illustrated in FIGURES 4A and 4B, bow positioning system 50 comprises a hydraulic cylinder 52 to provide a lifting force to raise bow 12 relative to main body 16. In operation, as cylinder 52 raises bow 12, bow 12 is guided upward by a rack and pinion system 54 disposed within a generally vertical slot 56 to guide bow 12 to the raised position. Once bow 12 is in the raised position, a connection member 58, such as, for example, a trailer hitch, can be used to enable boat and travel trailer system 10 to be connected to vehicle 14 for transport, as illustrated in FIGURE 1.
[0017] FIGURE 5 is an illustration of an alternate configuration of bow positioning system 50. In the embodiment illustrated in FIGURE 5, bow 12 is connected to main body 16 via pivotable arms 70. In operation, hydraulic cylinder 52 and pivotable arms 70 are operable to position bow 12 between the upper and lower positions. Accordingly, in operation, hydraulic cylinder 52 lifts bow 12 and arms 70 are thus operable to pivotably guide bow 12 upward until reaching the upper position, as illustrated in FIGURE 5.
[0018] In the embodiment illustrated in FIGURE 5, bow 12 is positioned in the upper position such that the top surface of bow 12 extends upward and higher than the top surface of main body 16. Accordingly, as wheels 24 and 26 are retracted and the bottom surface of main body 16 rests directly on the ground, connection member 58 can be detached from vehicle 14 so as to enable vehicle to travel without pulling main body 16. In addition, the ability for main body 16 to rest directly on the ground facilities stability of the main body 16 while also enabling easy access into living quarters 18.
[0019] Referring back to FIGURES 4A and 4B, wheels 24 are positionable between an extended position (FIGURE 4A) and a retracted position (FIGURE
4B) via retraction system 72. Preferably, wheel retraction system 72 comprises a hydraulic cylinder 74 configured to extend wheels 24 from within a wheel well when it is desired to support or otherwise move/transport boat and travel trailer system 10 on land. It should be further understood that wheels 26 (FIGURE 1 and 2) are also positionable via an identical or otherwise substantially similar retraction system 72.

Preferably, wheel retraction system 72 comprises a hydraulic cylinder 74 configured to extend wheels 24 from within a wheel well when it is desired to support or otherwise move/transport boat and travel trailer system 10 on land. It should be further understood that wheels 26 (FIGURE 1 and 2) are also positionable via an identical or otherwise substantially similar retraction system 72.
[0020] Referring now to FIGURE 6, a storage area 80 of bow 12 is sized to store or otherwise receive various operational components 82 of boat and travel trailer system 10. For example, storage area 80 is sized to receive a power ' CA 02755104 2013-05-02 generator 84, an air pump 86, and oil pump 88 and an engine 90, all of which are used to operate boat and travel trailer system 10. For example, engine 90 is configured to provide sufficient power to enable boat and travel trailer system 10 to move on land and/or to provide power to operate a propeller 92 to facilitate operation of boat and travel trailer system 10 on water. It should be understood that while storage area 80 is configured to receive operational components 82 therein, it should be understood that operational components 82 may be otherwise positioned or mounted within boat and travel trailer system 10. For example, engine 90 and propeller 92 may be positioned toward the middle or rear area of boat and travel trailer system 10.
[0021] Referring now to FIGURES 3 and 7A and 7B, flotation system 28 is illustrated. Flotation system 28 includes a plurality of inflatable air storage devices 94 storable within a recessed or storage area 96. In the illustrated embodiment, air storage devices 94 each are formed an inflatable nylon or canvas bag. Referring specifically to FIGURES 7A and 7B, boat and travel trailer system 10 contains a recessed area 96a and 96b on each side of boat and travel trailer system 10 to provide stabilization to main body 16 when floating on water.
Preferably, each recessed area 96 is enclosed by a fender 98 that is pivotable from the closed position (FIGURE 7B), to enclose or otherwise protect air storage devices 94 when not in use, to the open position (FIGURE 7A), when it is desired to stabilize boat and travel trailer system 10 when on water. In addition, fenders 98, when pivoted to the open position, provide a walking surface 100 to allow passengers to walk around living quarters 18 when on the water. Furthermore, when boat and travel trailer system 10 is on land, walking surface 100 can be utilized as a step or walking surface to provide access to living quarters 18 via entranceway door 102.
Preferably, each recessed area 96 is enclosed by a fender 98 that is pivotable from the closed position (FIGURE 7B), to enclose or otherwise protect air storage devices 94 when not in use, to the open position (FIGURE 7A), when it is desired to stabilize boat and travel trailer system 10 when on water. In addition, fenders 98, when pivoted to the open position, provide a walking surface 100 to allow passengers to walk around living quarters 18 when on the water. Furthermore, when boat and travel trailer system 10 is on land, walking surface 100 can be utilized as a step or walking surface to provide access to living quarters 18 via entranceway door 102.
[0022] In operation, when it is desired to utilize flotation system 28, air pump 84 is activated to inflate air storage devices 94. As air storage devices inflate, fenders 98 are pushed from the closed position (to enclose recessed area 96) and rotated in the direction of arrow 104. Fenders 98 continue to rotate in = CA 02755104 2013-05-02 response to the inflation of storage devices 94 until a stop cord 106 is fully extended, which prevents further rotation of fender 98 (the open position).
Once air storage devices 94 are fully inflated, fender 98 is disposed in the generally horizontal configuration relative to main body 16 to create walking surface around living quarters 18.
Once air storage devices 94 are fully inflated, fender 98 is disposed in the generally horizontal configuration relative to main body 16 to create walking surface around living quarters 18.
[0023] In the embodiment illustrated in FIGURE 7A, each flotation system 28 contains four air storage devices 94 on each side of main body 16 so as to provide additional stabilization to boat and travel trailer system 10 when on the water; however, it should be understood that a greater or fewer number of air storage devices 94 can be utilized. Each storage device 94 is deflatable and storable within recessed area 96 when not in use.
[0024] When storing flotation system 28, a retraction system 108 is used to deflate air storage devices 94 and rotate fender 98 in the direction of arrow to enclose recessed area 96. Retraction system 108 includes a winch 112 for winding a retraction cord 114. In operation, as winch 112 retracts cord 114, a pipe or rod 116, disposed on the opposite end of cord 114 from winch 112, is retracted inside recessed area 96. During retraction, pipe 116 gathers air storage devices 94 and provides sufficient force on air storage devices 94 to force or otherwise drain air from within the storage devices 94.
During movement, pipe 116 contacts a stop cord 106, which pulls and/or otherwise causes fender 98 to pivot in the direction of arrow 110 until it is in the closed position to thereby enclose recessed area 96 (FIGURE 7B).
During movement, pipe 116 contacts a stop cord 106, which pulls and/or otherwise causes fender 98 to pivot in the direction of arrow 110 until it is in the closed position to thereby enclose recessed area 96 (FIGURE 7B).
[0025] It should also be understood that bow 12 is positionable upwardly and downwardly, as described above, such that when in water, bow 12 can be used to trim boat and travel trailer system 10. According to some embodiments, bow 12 can be lowered to a level below the bottom of main body 16 (not illustrated), if necessary, to trim the boat and travel trailer system 10.
[0026] Although specific embodiments have been described in detail, those skilled in the art will also recognize that various substitutions and modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the appended claims.
